Why Paisley?

FABRIC BY JANNASALAKDESIGNS

OK – some of you have wondered what the paisley connection is with the November horoscopes. It's just this in my tiny mind. Paisley =  fertility = Scorpio. 


Paisley pattern, which originates in South or Central Asia depending on who is talking, is said to be an ancient fertility symbol – a mango split in half or a cypress tree or a frond.  The truth is no one really knows.


To me it looks like sperm under a microscope, which is about as fundamentally Scorpio as you can get since it's a combination of fertility and analysis.


So the illustrations for this month's horoscopes are an homage to Scorpio.
